The Sonorities Show-reel presents new audio-visual work in the Foyer of the Sonic Arts Research Centre.

| Venue : SARC Admission : FREE |
||||||
| Jigsaw uses computer 3D objects mixed together with pre-recorded footage, and various natural sound objects to explore the way natural materials are represented synthetically within the digital world. Audio and visual objects are controlled using a series of variables in a computer program in order to manipulate them until an aesthetically pleasing result is achieved, a process similar to the process of solving a Jigsaw puzzle. | ![]() |

| Ms Jo Thomas - Angel | ||||||
| Venue : SARC Admission : FREE |
||||||
| Angel is an exploration of sound and visual metaphors questioning the passing of time. The human body and the imagination are referenced closely together throughout this work as a means of exploring strange imaginary landscapes, fantasies of flight, timelessness and the extreme beauty of the human condition. | ||||||
| Mario Verandi - Klangfilm | ||||||
| Venue : SARC Admission : FREE |
||||||
| The film Arbeiter verlassen die Fabrik ( Workers Leaving the Factory ) by Harun Farocki is the starting framework for the creation of this audio-visual piece. The original film was re-edited by Harun Farocki and Verandi in order to create a new compositional structure. "Images and sounds, like strangers who make acquaintance on a journey and afterwards cannot separate" Robert Bresson |

| Germán Toro-Pérez - El nudo (The Knot) | ||||||
| Venue : SARC Admission : FREE |
||||||
| El nudo is a view of the city of Bogotá. It reveals a superposition of five different layers by the Post Office Cowboys. These determine the urban structure of the city and show different stages of historical development. Each layer is being seen from the perspective of the symbolic person: The Man, The Bird, The Frog, The Dog and The Demon. |

| Yasuhiro Rina Morinaga - Outside | ||||||
| Venue : SARC Admission : FREE |
||||||
| Outside presents an appreciation of nature in our lives through the idea of noise in minimal and cyclic aspects of natural phenomenon (the sound of a wave, the wind blowing, rain...). Outside stresses the significance of this noise as an element of rhythm and its place in music and in our lives. | ![]() |

| Paulo Chagas + Inge Kamps - The Journey | ||||||
| Venue : SARC Admission : FREE |
||||||
| This piece is conceived as an audiovisual journey. Sound and images are structured as independent layers and at the same time develop a close synchronism, which aims to create a unity of audio and visual perception. It is the first of a series of collaborative projects by composer Paulo Chagas and video artist Inge Kamps. | ![]() |
